Finally. I added my card as soon as I read this - have been waiting a long time. That said, it explains why NAB put all of their credit card annual fees up a few weeks ago - to recoup Apple’s fees from NAB customers.

Surely the record companies mentioned, Stardust and Pickwick, are culpable. They would have signed off with the online storefronts stating that they legitimately licenced the music, thereby knowingly committing deceit. I would imagine that the shift…

Great article, that explains to those puzzled by Apple’s recent event the importance of services. A device without content will soon become irrelevant. Imagine if Apple didn’t go into the web browser business and we had to use a clunky MS browser on…

I have to say that all of this so called Russian rigging of the US election is a bit of a farce, when you consider that around 40% of Americans didn’t event bother to vote. That’s enough people to easily have enabled either side to win in a landslid…

I would not be surprised if the Fold never ships. The only way to fix the problem is to bin the lot and start again. There’s no way they can redesign, test, re-tool and manufacture a new case in a few months. There’s inherent problems with the desi…

There’s always a market for “cheap and nasty” but not necessarily much profit in it. The market that Samsung seems to be going for, though, is “expensive and nasty”. It will be mind boggling if people who shell out over $2,000 for a Fold, will simp…

You would have thought that after the first 1,400 phone replacements assigned to his AppleID or whatever ID was used, that Apple would have twigged. Not sure how you can return so many items without raising a red flag?

Apple really needs to latent some of this stuff. It’s incredible how so many companies can copy Apple with not so much as a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile, Apple is constantly dragged through the Courts by thousands of non-practicing entities trying t…

My wife bought a Versa, because she was convinced that she didn’t need all that an Apple Watch can do. She returned it the next day and bought an Apple Watch. Just because they’ve made it LOOK like and Apple Watch, doesn’t mean it’s the same! It fe…

I think a far more usable form of this bendable screen technology is in devices that would benefit more from the extra screen real estate, such as watches/watch bands and other wearables. It will be interesting to see how Samsung manages production …

If you look closely, the iPad isn’t actually bent, is simply the joint, as pointed out by Apple, that gives the impression of a bend. This is similar to the join on a car where your integrated plastic bumper bar meets the metal panel, it’s never per…

Surely there should be some protection for Apple against having to fix problems that have been caused by dodger, cheap, third party components. If I throw non genuine parts in my new Mercedes and cook the engine does that mean Mercedes has to fix it…

I guess the easiest way to defeat the time-based lockout would be to somehow pause/rewind/reset the clock on the phone, by stopping it from connecting to a time server, or fiddling the time server adjust the time. I’m not suggesting it’s actually “e…

Consider Apple’s icons for phone, message, address book, calendar, mail etc. all of which have been blatantly copied by Samsung and every other phone maker. No compensation from them. So don’t expect any money from Apple just because it has simil…

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple paid up. Maybe they could win but it is pretty obvious that soneone at Apple copied the concept. As such it looks really bad if Apple is seen beating up on a startup.
Umm.. No. If you …

By the same token...
McDonalds should weigh customers as they enter and exit, and announce their weight gain each visit,
Netflix should automatically update your doctor of your Square Eyes data,
And Couches should detect and display your Potato tim…
